About Us

Our Lady of the Assumption Church is a small Catholic parish located in Sylvania, Georgia.  Sylvania is in the southeast part of Georgia, about halfway between Savannah and Augusta.  We are part of the Diocese of Savannah under the shepherding of Bishop Stephen D. Parkes.

Our parish has approximately 45 families who drive in from all areas of the county.  In addition, we have some parishioners who drive from Jenkins County, a neighboring county, where in recent years, our mission church, St. Bernadette, was closed.

Our pastor is Rev. Louis Lussier, (Fr. Lou) who is a member of the Order of St. Camillus.   Our parish is host to a free mobile health clinic, the St. Camillus Health Clinic, which uses our parish hall as its base.
